About

My Story.....

I'm Cassi, and I have tie dyed over 50,000 garments over my bathtub. No kidding! I want to tell you my story in hopes that it inspires you to follow your dreams.

I never knew what I wanted to be when I "grew up". To be honest, I felt like my options were pretty limited. The expense of college wasn't something my parents could undertake, so I graduated high school at 17 (a year early), and moved to the ghetto of OKC (the only place I could afford to live), and worked at Kmart. A few years later, Kmart closed, so I went to work for Walmart. Even then, I knew that I did not want to be there forever- there had to be something better for me out there- my life was not meant to be spent slaving away for a large corporation for crap pay. It was like an endless cycle though- when you can barely afford to eat, how can you pull yourself out?

I have always had a creative soul- in fact, during those hard times, being creative and artistic was about the only thing I could do to find a break from the hard times around me. I spent a lot of time painting- I would paint anything I could get my hands on. The other thing that got me through those rough times was volunteering, and giving to others in anyway I could. It made me feel like even if times were hard for me, I could still make a difference.

I got married young, and even though that was NOT a smart idea, I got the best gift I could ever ask for from that relationship- my son, Wes. When I found out that I was pregnant, I started dabbling in tie dye- it was a fun way for me to make something really neat out of things that I already had. I didn't have anyone to teach me, so my creative personality kicked in, and I spent hours testing and trying new things- never in my life could I have imagined that I was giving myself an education for what would eventually become my career.

In 2007 I found myself a single mom of a one year old son. As fate would have it, I ended up falling in love with a hot shot manager from Arkansas. We had met when I was pregnant with Wes, and became fast friends. He was my age, a bad boy, and NOT the kind of guy you would ever consider settling down with. In a strange turn of events, we seemed to make each other better people just by being friends. When we started dating, we were the oddest couple- no one who knew either of us would have ever put us together- we were complete opposites.

Chad saw the artist in me, and encouraged me to follow it. "Why not?" he said. So, I went back to my tie dye adventures- spending every extra penny I had on supplies. I begged anyone and everyone to look at my work, and to buy stuff. I started trying new techniques that I thought MIGHT work- and refined, and practiced.

My sister told me about this website called Etsy- she described it as- the most amazing thing ever- all handmade, and perfect for people like me. Chad suggested that I try it- just to see what would happen. I specifically remember saying, "No one who doesn't know me is going to buy my stuff." When I got my first Etsy sale, I literally thought I had broke my computer, or something was wrong- where did this money come from? When I realized that I had actually sold something- to a stranger, no less- I took the money I had made and invested it right back into my creations. Thanks to word of mouth, my shop was getting steady sales, and with each new order, I got better- I was determined to refine my technique, teach myself how to do new things, and to make my clothing something that people would love. I wanted to break the barriers that tie dye held- I wanted to make clothes that were gorgeous, and unique.

The hard work paid off- before I knew it, my shop was keeping me busy full time, and I was living the life that I was determined to get! In turn, this gave me more time to fulfill my other passion- giving. Life was good.

Now, you think this is my happy ending- but it is not. You see, I made a stupid mistake when I opened up my first shop. I was selling TONS of Mickey Mouse tie dye- everyone loved them.. well, everyone except for Disney. I woke up one morning and found that my shop- everything I had worked so hard for, had been shut down for copyright infringement. This fueled my creative fire- instead of giving up- I started over and reinvented my line. I thought my dream was over, but I refused to quit. After a few VERY scary weeks, my new line caught on like wild fire, and that leaves us where I am today.

If you have a dream- FOLLOW IT. If you want to change your life- CHANGE IT. It won't be easy, and it feels scary, but you will never know until you try! You might just find your ONE GREAT THING :)
